More than 76,000 people left their homes in southern Lebanon due to clashes on the border between Hezbollah and Israel since the start of the war in Gaza on October 7.
According to figures reported by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), 76,018 southerners have been displaced in Lebanon, taking refuge in the capital Beirut and the Baabda region in particular.
The IOM report states that 81% of the displaced people are living with their relatives, while 2% are housed in 14 collective shelters spread across the south of the country, particularly in the towns of Tyre and Hasbaya. The remaining rented apartments or moved into their homes in areas further away from the border.
According to an AFP count, at least 175 people have been killed on the Lebanese side, including 129 Hezbollah members, since the beginning of the conflict. The Israeli army, for its part, counted the deaths of 14 people, including nine soldiers.
